A bouncy song with a puzzling turn of lyric - it was written by Sidney King Russell in 1926 and was a minor hit. This was recorded acoustically by Gennett, on March 31 of that year, by an augmented "Bailey's Lucky Seven" (which
was, itself, a unit of the "California Ramblers"). Guest saxophonist Rudy Wiedhoft turns in a nice four-bar break toward the end of the piece, after the tango-esque section. Arthur Fields does the singing chore, as he often did
on the "Bailey's" sides. The surface of this example is not ideal - a rim chip was mended with glue, making it playable once again but not without noise. It gets better after that. (A discography, plus one more sound sample,
can be found at the Red Hot Jazz Archive.)
